The organelles Flashcards
(22 cards)
An organism whose cell contains a nucleus and all organelles
Ex: Plants, animals, and Fungi
Eukaryotic
A unicellular organism that lacks a nucleus and organelles
Prokaryotic
The thin, flexible barrier that surrounds all cells; regulates what enters and what leaves the cell
Cell membrane
The fluid part of the cell
Cytoplasm
The ridgid structure that provides support to a plant cell or bacteria
Cell wall
Receives, modifies, packages, and ships
Golgi apparatus
Makes lipids, detoxifies alcohol
Smooth endoplasmic reticulum
Makes proteins that leave the cell
Rough endoplasmic reticulum
Makes proteins that stay in the cell
Ex: Enzymes
Every cell has it
Ribosome
Garbage men of the cells. They take care of the dead cells. The digest things
Lysosome
The store cell products
Animals store: Fats
Plants store: Sugar and Pigments
Vacuole
Storage for water in a plant cell
Central vacuole
Transports things on the cytoskeleton
Vesicle
Gives structure to the cell and provides “the roads” for transport
Cytoskeleton
The brain of the cell that tells cells what to do and has the genetic information
Nucleus
Where RNA is made
Nucleolus
Structure in a animal that breaks down the cytoskeleton and rebuilds it during cell division
Centriole
The powerhouse of the cell converts sugar into energy
Mitochondria
Found only in plants it takes the energy of light and carbon dioxide to make sugar
Chloroplast
Take hydrogen peroxide and detoxifies it or convert hydrogen peroxide to water and oxygen
Peroxisome
Moves the cell
Flagella
Move substances passed a cell
Cilia
